Rachel's photos, etiquette, timeliness and professionalism were absolutely the best I could expect from and photographer. The photos were beautiful and made me feel like every moment of the day couldn't have gone better because she captured the best of everything. If you are looking for a wedding photographer with true talent, I would highly recommend Rachel.

Rachel photographed my wedding and we loved her! She was so efficient and the pictures turned out wonderfully. I've been to weddings before where it takes the photographer forever to line up a shot but Rachel knew exactly what she was doing so it went fast and everyone was happy. The best part was how fast it was getting the photos back. Rachel gave us the option of ordering large photos (which we did and they were very high quality) and also gave us every single photo on a USB! She also sent us the cutest wood box after the wedding with all of the photos printed out!! It was such a surprise. Rachel

Rachel was wonderful to work with from start to finish. Not only is she amazingly talented, but she is also a pleasure to interact with. My husband and I hired her to shoot our engagement photos and wedding photos which both turned out great and exceeded our expectations. She is very personable and took a genuine interest in getting to know us so that we could feel comfortable and natural in working with her. She was also great at interacting with our families, but knew exactly how to coordinate the chaos to capture family portraits the day of the wedding.
We also really appreciated how detailed

From the moment I fatefully stumbled across her photos on the web, I was in love with Rachel Havel's work, her vision, and her spirit and knew I wanted her to be my wedding photographer. She was so professional and kind from the moment I contacted her and she is genuinely a wonderful person down to her core which is reflected in her interactions with everyone around her and her beautiful photos.
Rachel is a true professional and methodically and naturally gets to know her clients to assist her in photographing them. Our initial conversation was over Skype since we were in New York and she was

A picture is worth a thousand words, and Rachel holds to that truth. To me, one of the most important services in a wedding is the photographer. Photographs last a lifetime, so selecting the right photographer to capture my special moments was crucial. I lucked out though because my engagement session photographer was literally dropped in my lap! By the grace of God, Rachel was that person! My fiancé and I could not have asked for a more genuine, heart-felt person to shoot one of the defining moments in our journey towards our wedding day. Everything that came out of the session, we liked! Rachel

Rachel Havel gets all my endorsements and accolades as one of Colorado's best photographers. Rachel doesn't just stop at beautiful photography. Although she is incredibly gifted at what she does, Rachel understands the importance of knowing her clients and their stories so she can fully capture expressions and memories unique to them. Rachel was able to be a part of my husband and my entire story shooting both our engagement photos as well as our wedding photos and I couldn't be happier with the results. She didn't miss a moment and at the same time I felt like we didn't even know she was there

From the moment I saw Rachel's blog and previous wedding shots, I knew she was the right photographer for our small wedding of 15 family members. She went above and beyond her call of duty without asking for anything more from us! Her bubbly yet, quiet presence has the ability to make you and the company around you feel right at ease. Her pictures speak for themselves. She has the ability to capture the emotions in her photos, taking you right back to the memory of how you felt in that moment. Rachel, you made us feel completely at ease, half the time I didn't even know you were there! I am so

Rachel went above and beyond all of our expectations! She was so professional, yet laid back to work with, which was absolutely perfect for us. The photos that she took were absolutely gorgeous and she really captured the evening perfectly. I can’t say enough about how great she was. I would recommend her whole heartedly to anyone !!

We are so happy with both our engagement and wedding pictures. They turned out better than we could have imagined. Rachel was a complete professional from start to finish -- while also being kind, caring and genuine. She used film and digital, which gave us so many stunning and creative images to treasure for a lifetime. Thank you, Rachel!

We had a small and intimate wedding with a guest list of only immediate family. As such, our photographer essentially became a part of our close circle, and we are grateful it was Rachel. She was wonderfully hands on and accommodating and so genuinely thrilled for us that her excitement heightened the whole day. Our pictures are lovely and capture some wonderful moments, but what I like to speak to most is just how perfect for us our wedding was and Rachel helped to make that happen.
